5. Project Staging
2005 idea: Staging of the project ( total cost 2005: 1187 M€)
three stages defined by optimizing start of science
2007 idea: Staging of the project ( available funds 940 M€ )
two phases defined / matched with assured funding level
Phase A = start-version, Phase B = all that‘s left out in Phase A
2009 idea: Modularized FAIR Start Version 2009
start with module 0 to 3, modules 4 and 5 (when funds available)

6. Modules
Module 0: Heavy-Ion Synchrotron SIS100, basis and core of FAIR, required for all physics programmes
Module 1: Experiment halls at SIS100 for extracted beam diagnostics, HADES/CBM, APPA, and detector calibration.
Module 2: Super-FRS for NUSTAR.
Module 3: Antiproton facility for PANDA, providing further options also for NUSTAR
Module 4: Additional low-energy caves for NUSTAR, NESR storage ring for NUSTAR und APPA, building for antimatter programme FLAIR
Module 5: RESR storage ring for a higher beam intensity for PANDA and parallel operation with NUSTAR

8. Rationale for new Modularized Start Version (WP)
Cost estimate for modular version presented by architects
Detailed list of site related construction costs worked out
based upon a new cost estimate in 2009 for the accelerator complex
firm commitments of FAIR Member States
Germany and State of Hesse announced to cover "site-dependent" construction costs outside FAIR project budget
+ 110 M€ !

9. Roadmap Driven by civil construction
Aim for earliest commissioning of accelerators and respective experiments

12. Conclusions
Based on recent cost estimates and firm commitments of FAIR Member States the MSV is elaborated
Modules 0-3 ensure a physics programme that is still unique, competitive with great discovery potential
all FAIR science communities can perform excellent physics from early on
the facility can be smoothly upgraded towards the full version of FAIR facility
JCT continues efforts on cost savings measures in cc, accelerator design etc…
Setup of the international company proceeds in parallel

13. Thank you for attention !
FAIR will open a new research era in hadronic, nuclear and atomic physics as well as in applied science. The White Paper outlines a realistic path to achieve this goal. The Modularized Start Version provides an outstanding and world-leading research program for all scientific FAIR communities which will be further strengthened by the addition of further modules
Thank you for attention !

15. Status in October: Revised costs: 1027 M€*
Firm commitments: M€ (total 1104 M€ )
Challenge: define project for 1039 M€ that allows excellent physics and serves all communities !
This is beeing evaluated financially and scientifically
